The result was Merge and redirect to Byron, Ontario, as redirects are cheap and the content has already been merged there is little harm in just keeping as a redirect. I will protect the redirect if anyone brings repeated recreations to my attention. Davewild (talk) 11:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Byron Somerset Public School

Newly built middle school. Nothing special about it. Delete. Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 17:31, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

The school is relevant to the ever-growing cummunity of houses surrounding it. Since the early 1990s, it has been a cummunity center as well as a school. Keep. LondonOnEric- Me • MyEars

 * Redirect to district: Contrary to TerriersFan there is no "established precedent" for this: it's been done, but keeping or deleting is more common. But I think it's a good solution as it has the potential to keep information, keep it together, and make a single good article rather than a collection of permanent stubs.

 * STRONG KEEP Rather than engage in a kind of deletion warfare, we should promote article development for the good of Wikipedia and to encourage good editors. This article was nominated for deletion precisely one minute after it was created. The nominator doesn't appear to have had any way of knowing how notable it might be. For this particular article, I think we should be extra prudent and wait months before even considering deleting or redirecting it. Before ultimately deciding whether it should go or stay, I'd like to see whether or not the creator of the article or other editors can add citations to multiple, independent, reliable sources. Perhaps the nominator can explain to the rest of us how this article came to be nominated for deletion so fast. Noroton (talk) 19:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This is hardly notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge> Delete to Thames Valley District School Board per de facto guideline that seems to be gaining momentum at WP:SCHOOL. JERRY talk contribs 15:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC) !vote changed per Vegaswikian JERRY talk contribs 05:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I would not have objected to a merge, but there is nothing to merge.  Not even a year it was opened in.  Vegaswikian (talk) 04:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Byron, Ontario where it has already been merged. Having looked into the situation this school district seems far too large to carry summaries of primary schools. It is vastly bigger than any US school district for example. I have therefore merged to its locality where it fits rather nicely. Because of GFDL considerations deletion should not be carried out (because it destroys the history) but the redirect can be protected if thought necessary.
